Marianna, Florida, in Jackson County, has about 8,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the State Attorney files charges, a case in the Jackson County Circuit Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Marianna
The FBI lists Marianna with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Marianna Police Department. It reported 119 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 289 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Jackson County: the Department of Corrections, Office of the Inspector General in Jackson County, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Law Enforcement at Jackson, the Jackson County Florida Game Commission, the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco in Jackson County and one more (state agency); the Highway Patrol in Jackson County (state police); the Jackson County School District (other).
How Many Arrests Marianna Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Marianna: 119 for 2025 and 178 for 2024.
Marianna's 119 arrests in 2025 were down 33 percent from 178 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Marianna reported 82 arrests, against 77 in the same months of 2025.
Across Jackson County, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,560 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Marianna Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Marianna is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 170 people on an average day, down from about 260 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 326 beds, and it ran at 80 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office at jacksoncountyso.com/inmate-search (page title: Inmate Search | Jackson County Sheriff's Office), phone 877-654-8463, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Florida Department of Corrections lists its inmates at fdc.myflorida.com.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Marianna
Whether someone was arrested in Marianna, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Jackson County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at jacksonclerk.com/court-services/search-court-records); the State Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at jud14.flcourts.org/state-attorney).
Florida is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can run a name-based criminal history search online for $24, for $24 a search, through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Marianna
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Florida Public Records Act (Chapter 119) the agency must answer promptly and in good faith; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge the copy fees set by statute, plus a special service charge for large requests.
